Stacey King, a key member of three Chicago Bulls championship teams, has died at the age of 59, ESPN reported.
King, a 6-foot-11 center who entered the NBA in 1989, was part of the Bulls’ title runs that solidified the franchise’s dominance in the early 1990s. His contributions off the bench provided size and depth to a roster led by Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.
Details surrounding King’s death were not immediately released. Tributes from former teammates and across the basketball community began appearing on social media shortly after the news became public.
Before his professional career, King starred at the University of Oklahoma, helping the Sooners reach the 1988 NCAA championship game. He later moved into broadcasting, serving as a television analyst for Bulls games.
King is survived by his family and a legacy that includes three NBA championships and an enduring connection with Bulls fans.
